Getting user input to initialize additional data series

[dhunnewell]

I am new to Ninja Trader and I am writing scripts for someone else, I have written a script that adds a data series to a chart... I want to get user input for The script initialize to use as the time base for the new data series... I am lost and cannot find anything script reference.

This is the initialize of my script:

 
protected override void Initialize()
{
Add(PeriodType.Minute, 600); 
CalculateOnBarClose = false;
}

I want to get user input for "period".

Is it possible to get user input?

Unfortunately not for bar creation. You will need to hard code it.

Thanx!, New problem... hope you can help...

Here is my script mod:

 
#region Using declarations
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Drawing.Drawing2D;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Xml.Serialization;
using NinjaTrader.Cbi;
using NinjaTrader.Data;
using NinjaTrader.Indicator;
using NinjaTrader.Gui.Chart;
using NinjaTrader.Strategy;
#endregion
namespace NinjaTrader.Strategy
{
[Description("Plots fibonacci extension of previous bar on current bar and indicates retrace.")]
public class MacdCon : Strategy
{
#region Variables
#endregion

/// <summary>
/// This method is used to configure the strategy and is called once before any strategy method is called.
/// </summary>
protected override void Initialize()
{
TextBoxRenderer.DrawTextBox(Graphics.FromHdc, Rectangle.FromLTRB, TextBoxState.Normal);

Problem is TextBoxState.Normal generates the following error:

The name 'TextBoxState' does not exist in the current context.

Indeed when I refer to Intellisense it is not there!

Did I leave out a reference?

dhunnewell,

This would be more of a general C# question. Unfortunately I do not know which "using" you would need to add for TextBoxes. Perhaps you could try googling it.
